The facts bore this out. After Hei Yu signed the slave contract, the system prompted Bai Qi that his mission was complete.
Since Hei Yu had become Bai Qi's slave, all his possessions naturally became Bai Qi's, including the fragments.
"These are all the fragments found over the years?"
Bai Qi asked, looking at the fragments of various sizes that Hei Yu had placed on the table.
These fragments varied in size, the largest being about the size of a baby's fist, and the smallest not even as big as a thumb.
"There are no more. I found these with great difficulty."
Watching Bai Qi play with the fragments in his hand, Hei Yu's eyes followed Bai Qi's hands, afraid that if Bai Qi fumbled, the fragments would fall to the ground.
"This is interesting."
As Bai Qi picked up the largest fragment, the system issued a new mission.
[The Shattered Divine Light Mirror]
Description: A treasure of an outer realm demon, scattered into fragments on Earth. Collect and restore them, and I assure you, you will receive an unexpected surprise.
Reward: One Advanced Draw, Mysterious Tarot Card
Note: Accepting this mission may attract the attention of other void creatures.
Note: Accepting the mission will grant a Treasure Compass.
After reading the mission from the system, Bai Qi accepted it without hesitation.
After all, the system itself hinted at an unexpected surprise upon completion. Why would Bai Qi refuse? Moreover, anything considered a treasure in the void was not something Bai Qi would easily let go of.
As for the attention of void creatures, Bai Qi scoffed.
It was not easy for void creatures to enter a world from the void. The world barrier was not made of paper. The more powerful a void creature was, the more difficult it was to descend by breaking through the world barrier. Of course, void creatures of a certain high level of strength could directly shatter the world barrier or swallow the entire world along with the barrier.
If such a powerful void creature were encountered, there would be no point in resisting. Whether it shattered the world barrier or swallowed the world whole, it was beyond Bai Qi's ability to handle.
The remaining void creatures that could easily pass through the world barrier were likely not too strong. Even if Bai Qi did not intervene, the so-called heroes of justice in this world would not stand idly by while void creatures wreaked havoc.
"Um... Master, what should I do now?"
With all the fragments taken by Bai Qi, Hei Yu no longer had to painstakingly search for the remaining ones. In fact, the entire organization had lost its reason for existence.
At this moment, Hei Yu felt a loss of direction in his life.
Bai Qi looked at Hei Yu, who had transformed back into a crow and was perched on Kureyoshi Utsugi's shoulder, and said, "You must continue to manage the organization. In the coming period, your task is to find and eliminate the undercover agents one by one, ensuring the stable operation of the organization."
Hei Yu's original intention in establishing the organization was to help him find fragments. The projects developed by the organization were also to provide funds for Hei Yu's activities. However, with Bai Qi's words, his side business instantly became his main occupation.
At the end of their conversation, before Bai Qi left, he gave Hei Yu a list of names. These were the undercover agents Bai Qi knew from watching the anime in his previous life. He told Hei Yu to handle them based on the actual situation.
Furthermore, it was necessary to publicly declare that the meeting between the organization and the Saint Lord had failed. After all, the organization was now filled with undercover agents and spies, and Bai Qi and Hei Yu's meeting could not be kept secret.
Bai Qi was in a critical phase, and his image was crucial. At the very least, he needed the high-level American senators and officials to believe that he was harmless and could even be of assistance.
This way, for their own benefit, these politicians would stand on the same side as Bai Qi.
After finalizing the upcoming arrangements with Hei Yu, Bai Qi stood up and left.
For the next week, Bai Qi managed to snatch some leisure time amidst his busy schedule, enjoying a rare seven days of idleness. Sudan Novel Network.
It had been three months since the Saint Lord's resurrection. During these three months, there had been mixed opinions in the world regarding the resurrected ancient demon, with public opinion wavering on whether he was a force for good or evil.
Of course, among the few organizations that held a grudge against Bai Qi, his definition was evil, an existence that must be defeated and eliminated. For example, the Thirteenth Division, which had lost face due to the Saint Lord's resurrection, and S.H.I.E.L.D., which had almost lost its crystal when its base was raided by the Shadow Legion.
There were also the families of soldiers, who protested daily at the gates of the White House with various slogans, demanding that the government severely punish the demon.
The White House President's Office.
The President's secretary placed the day's documents on the desk and reminded the President not to forget the meeting at two o'clock this afternoon.
As the female secretary was about to leave, she was stopped by the President. "Wait."
"What about the protests outside?"
After speaking, the President felt he had asked a very foolish question, and the secretary's reply confirmed his thought.
"How else? They're still gathered at the entrance, and they can't be driven away."
The President took off his glasses, his thumb and index finger rubbing his furrowed brow as he sighed in frustration. "Protests, protests! All they know is how to protest. If they have the ability, they should go find the demon directly."
The demon's resurrection had already made the American high command extremely worried. The number of documents in the President's office increased visibly by the day. There were also those sanctimonious countries that claimed they should think from the demon's perspective, that demons also had human rights. What kind of nonsense was this?
More importantly, after the demon's speech at the port, he disappeared again. Now, even if America mobilized all its satellites, they couldn't find any trace of the demon.
When the target couldn't be found, let alone any action taken.
The Saint Lord's resurrection was like the beginning of all calamities. Excluding the demon, incidents of mythical creatures injuring and killing people occurred one after another across the country. In just two months, more than thirty people died unnaturally within the United States, and countless more claimed to have been attacked.
Coupled with America's cumbersome judicial procedures, even if the President wanted to increase the police budget for each state and purchase more advanced weaponry, the proposal still needed to go through layers of approval, and there was also obstruction from the opposing parties.
The proposal itself was not problematic. These opposing parties obstructed for the sake of obstruction, lacking any rationality.
Looking at the mountain of documents, the President felt like dying. Why was he so unlucky to be elected at such a critical time?
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared to the previous president, his current political environment was extremely hostile.
What was even more infuriating was that those brainless voters didn't analyze the situation objectively. They only cared about their own comfort and whether the country's subsidies were sufficient.
